a) absolute monarchy
b) representative democracy
c) anarchy
d) dictatorship

Respuesta :

The correct answer here is B. The representative democracy is a system where the elected officials make up the government and they represent different kinds of groups. This is similar but different than direct democracy. In representative democracy it is the elected officials who decide and vote on various political policies. In a direct democracy every initiative would be voted on by the people directly. Almost all of the western countries in the present day and age have some form of the representative democracy.

The Athens system of government most affected the form of government called representative democracy. For this type of democracy it is characteristic that everyone literally has the right to vote, and that they can indirectly decide on many political issues through their elected representatives. This is exactly the model of all today's democrats. There is also a direct democracy, where in this case the people would directly decide on various issues.
